SynthaMax OE Replacement Air Filter


Airaid filters are the absolute best air filters that are washable and able to be reused.  Each one of the Airaid SynthaMax replacement air filter has been hand - made and uses the best materials that are available.  These filters trap much more of the dirt, dust and debris than their competition does and they also provide you with an air flow that is superior so that you get a performance from your engine that is excellent.  These filters also come with a warranty that can’t be beat.

What makes these filters stand head and shoulders above the competition is that they use a filtration media that is unlike any other.  See, with the competitors’ filters, there is only a material such as cotton gauze that is used.  With an Airaid filter, there is the gauze as well as what they call SynthaFlow that is interlaced between the layers of gauze.  This proprietary material is able to capture even the smallest of particulates which would otherwise get through to your engine and slowly ruin its performance.  In fact, the filters that are made by Airaid are known for capturing twice as much of the 2 micron particulates as well as more than 6 times as much of the .2 micron particulates when compared to the competition.  This allows for your engine to run using air that is cleaner which in turn keeps it running more efficiently and with more power.

Jeep Maintenance 101


It doesn’t matter if you are just thinking about buying a cold air intake or if you already have one, it is always a good thing to know how to maintain one.  Air intakes can maximize the power of your rig but if you always want to have the best possible results, there are some tips regarding the air intake system that you might want to know.  Lucky you though, intake systems are not things that require too much money, time or work in order to make sure that they stay performing at their best.

An important thing to remember when getting a cold air intake system is that you want to get one that is low maintenance.  You will want one that carries a name that is well – known and trusted in the industry.  Something like the MXP system that is made by Airaid.  This is a system that has been designed to give you the best results while not requiring you to put in a lot of work.  When it comes to the intake system in your rig, the old adage – You get what you pay for – seriously comes into play.  If you happen to get one that is an off brand then the results that you get from it will not be what you could expect from a boss system like the MXP.  You will also probably be looking at maintenance that is more frequent as well as spending more money to keep it in working order.

The Most Important Part of Air Intake System Maintenance

Whether you believe it or not, the most important part of the process is in choosing the one that is right for your rig.  Regardless of the type that you get, there will be certain things that are required for maintenance.  These things include replacing and maybe even oiling the air filter on a regular basis.  The intake tubes themselves could also do with a bit of cleaning occasionally to make sure that the tubes look great.  Aside from that, there really isn’t much maintenance that is required to keep a cold air intake looking and running great.  

One thing to note is the filters.  With many of the intake systems that ae on the market, you simply need to go buy a new filter and then take the old one out to put the new one in.  Sounds easy, right?  It is.  But, it can also add up to you spending a lot of money over the years.  With a filter that is made by Airaid, you buy one filter and use it forever.  They are washable as well as reusable and come with a warranty that is good for a lifetime.

How to Replace Your Jeep Air Filter


The air filter in your rig cleans all of the air that gets in to your engine.  This filter needs to be changed either every 20,000 miles or once a year.  That is, unless you have an Airaid filter.  If you have one of the premium Airaid filters then you will just need to wash it and then put it back in.  If you happen to drive in conditions that are sandy or dusty then you will need to do this on a more frequent basis.  Dirty air filters can cause you to lose up to 3 mpg depending on how you drive.  This means that by keeping the air filter in your Jeep clean, you can save up to 100 gallons of fuel each year!

Changing or cleaning your air filter can also cause there to be less of a strain on your engine.  They are easy to change too as there are essentially just three steps.  First you will need to open the casing for the air filter.  Then take out the old one and put the new one in.  Now close the casing and you are ready to roll!

Any part of your rig that takes in air or fluids from the outside environment needs to have a way to separate what will benefit your rig from what will not.  This is the whole reason for having fuel and air filters.  While these parts do require you to check and change them on a regular basis, they are one of the least expensive and easiest – as well as the most critical – maintenance type procedures that you can perform on your Jeep.  Changing the air filter in your Jeep on a regularly scheduled basis can significantly impact both the performance and the life of your engine.

Basic changing of a filter does not take very long at all – about 3 minutes.  It doesn’t cost a lot of money either.  This can send your Jeep down the trails renewed and refreshed.  Having an air filter that is clogged can cause our Jeep to exhibit poor performance as well as reducing the life of the engine.  Taking 5 minutes out of your day once a year can change all of that. 

Now, in all honesty you can take your rig to your local oil change shop and they can change it for you.  Why pay them to do this though when it is so easy to do it yourself?  Even a 5 year old can do this!  When you get someone else to do this for you they can charge up to $30!  That’s ridiculous!

Anyway, the next time you change your filter, replace your old one with an Airaid filter and you will no longer even need to spend money on new filters once a year.  Just wash that one and reuse it.
